though it's not really a "before" because none of that stuff was ours...this was before we moved in

and it's not really an "after" because I can count about 27 things I've moved, changed, hung up, installed or bought (like a piano and a giant coffee table) since I took these photos a month ago and it doesn't include the projects waiting to happen (like installing cupboards in the horrible laundry room, finish painting various rooms and a kitchen tile backsplash)

and I didn't even photograph some halls, the bathrooms or the basement because they're about the same in all of their seventies glory
